DAMOS quota goal uses 'nid' field when the metric is
DAMOS_QUOTA_NODE_MEM_{USED,FREE}_BP.  But the goal commit function is not
updating the goal's nid field.  Fix it.

<title>kasan: use vmalloc_dump_obj() for vmalloc error reports</title>

<content type='text'>
Since 6ee9b3d84775 ("kasan: remove kasan_find_vm_area() to prevent
possible deadlock"), more detailed info about the vmalloc mapping and the
origin was dropped due to potential deadlocks.

While fixing the deadlock is necessary, that patch was too quick in
killing an otherwise useful feature, and did no due-diligence in
understanding if an alternative option is available.

Restore printing more helpful vmalloc allocation info in KASAN reports
with the help of vmalloc_dump_obj().  Example report:

<title>mm/ksm: fix -Wsometimes-uninitialized from clang-21 in advisor_mode_show()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:153ad566724fe6f57b14f66e9726d295d22e576d</id>
<content type='text'>
After a recent change in clang to expose uninitialized warnings from const
variables [1], there is a false positive warning from the if statement in
advisor_mode_show().

  mm/ksm.c:3687:11: error: variable 'output' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
   3687 |         else if (ksm_advisor == KSM_ADVISOR_SCAN_TIME)
        |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  mm/ksm.c:3690:33: note: uninitialized use occurs here
   3690 |         return sysfs_emit(buf, "%s\n", output);
        |                                        ^~~~~~

Rewrite the if statement to implicitly make KSM_ADVISOR_NONE the else
branch so that it is obvious to the compiler that ksm_advisor can only be
KSM_ADVISOR_NONE or KSM_ADVISOR_SCAN_TIME due to the assignments in
advisor_mode_store().

<title>mm/zsmalloc: do not pass __GFP_MOVABLE if CONFIG_COMPACTION=n</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 48b4800a1c6a ("zsmalloc: page migration support") added support for
migrating zsmalloc pages using the movable_operations migration framework.
However, the commit did not take into account that zsmalloc supports
migration only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled.  Tracing shows that
zsmalloc was still passing the __GFP_MOVABLE flag even when compaction is
not supported.

This can result in unmovable pages being allocated from movable page
blocks (even without stealing page blocks), ZONE_MOVABLE and CMA area.

Possible user visible effects:
- Some ZONE_MOVABLE memory can be not actually movable
- CMA allocation can fail because of this
- Increased memory fragmentation due to ignoring the page mobility
  grouping feature  
I'm not really sure who uses kernels without compaction support, though :(


To fix this, clear the __GFP_MOVABLE flag when
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION).

<title>mm/vmscan: fix hwpoisoned large folio handling in shrink_folio_list</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9f1e8cd0b7c4c944e9921b52a6661b5eda2705ab</id>
<content type='text'>
In shrink_folio_list(), the hwpoisoned folio may be large folio, which
can't be handled by unmap_poisoned_folio().  For THP, try_to_unmap_one()
must be passed with TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD to split huge PMD first and then
retry.  Without TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD, we will trigger null-ptr deref of
pvmw.pte.  Even we passed TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD, we will trigger a
WARN_ON_ONCE due to the page isn't in swapcache.

Since UCE is rare in real world, and race with reclaimation is more rare,
just skipping the hwpoisoned large folio is enough.  memory_failure() will
handle it if the UCE is triggered again.

This happens when memory reclaim for large folio races with
memory_failure(), and will lead to kernel panic.  The race is as
follows:

cpu0      cpu1
 shrink_folio_list memory_failure
  TestSetPageHWPoison
  unmap_poisoned_folio
  --&gt; trigger BUG_ON due to
  unmap_poisoned_folio couldn't
   handle large folio

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit ad6b26b6a0a79166b53209df2ca1cf8636296382.

This commit introduces per-memcg/task NUMA balance statistics, but
unfortunately it introduced a NULL pointer exception due to the following
race condition: After a swap task candidate was chosen, its mm_struct
pointer was set to NULL due to task exit.  Later, when performing the
actual task swapping, the p-&gt;mm caused the problem.

CPU0                                   CPU1
:
...
task_numa_migrate
     task_numa_find_cpu
      task_numa_compare
        # a normal task p is chosen
        env-&gt;best_task = p

                                          # p exit:
                                          exit_signals(p);
                                             p-&gt;flags |= PF_EXITING
                                          exit_mm
                                             p-&gt;mm = NULL;

      migrate_swap_stop
        __migrate_swap_task((arg-&gt;src_task, arg-&gt;dst_cpu)
         count_memcg_event_mm(p-&gt;mm, NUMA_TASK_SWAP)# p-&gt;mm is NULL

task_lock() should be held and the PF_EXITING flag needs to be checked to
prevent this from happening.  After discussion, the conclusion was that
adding a lock is not worthwhile for some statistics calculations.  Revert
the change and rely on the tracepoint for this purpose.

<content type='text'>
The current implementation allows having zero size regions with no special
reasons, but damon_get_intervals_score() gets crashed by divide by zero
when the region size is zero.

  [   29.403950] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

This patch fixes the bug, but does not disallow zero size regions to keep
the backward compatibility since disallowing zero size regions might be a
breaking change for some users.

In addition, the same crash can happen when intervals_goal.access_bp is
zero so this should be fixed in stable trees as well.

                                        find_vm_area();
                                         spin_lock(&amp;vn-&gt;busy.lock) // deadlock!

To prevent possible deadlock while kasan reports, remove kasan_find_vm_area().
